المُلخص التنفيذي

أحواض التجفيف غير المزروعة Unplanted Drying Beds هي أحواض بسيطة ذات قاع مساميّ. عندما تمتلئ الأحواض بالحمأة، فإنَّها تجمّع السوائل المُترشحة، وتسمح للحمأة بأن تجف عن طريق التبخر. يتم التخلص من حوالي 50% إلى 80% من حجم الحمأة عن طريق ارتشاح السوائل أو تبخرها، ومع ذلك فإنّ الحمأة ليست مُثبّتة (مهضومة جيدًا) أو مُطهّرة على نحوٍ فَعَّال.

يتم بسط قاع أحواض التجفيف بأنابيب مُثقبة لتصريف السوائل المرتشحة من الحوض، وتُوجد فوق الأنابيب طبقات من الحصى والرمال التي تدعم الحمأة، وتسمح للسائل بالارتشاح والتجمع في أنابيب التصريف. ولا ينبغي تطبيقها عندما تكون الحمأة سميكة للغاية (الحد الأقصى هو 20 سنتيمترًا)، وإلا فلن تجف الحمأة بشكل فعَّال. يجب أن يكون مُحتوى الرطوبة النهائي بعد 10 إلى 15 يومًا من التجفيف ما يقرب من 60%. عندما يتم تجفيف الحمأة، فإنَّه يجب أن يتم فصلها عن طبقة الرمال، ويتم نقلها لمزيد من عمليات المُعالجة، أو الاستخدام، أو التخلص النهائي. ويجب أن يتم التعامل مع السوائل المرتشحة -التي تُجمَعُ في أنابيب التصريف- بشكل صحيح، وهذا يتوقف على المكان الذي يتم تصريفها إليه.

المزايا
كفاءة جيدة لنزع المياه، خاصةً في المناخات الجافة والحارة.
يُمكن إنشاؤها وإصلاحها بالمواد المتوفرة محليًا.
تكاليف رأس المال مُنخفضة نسبيًا، تكاليف التشغيل مُنخفضة.
عملية التشغيل بسيطة، تتطلب الاهتمام على فترات مُتقطعة فقط.
لا تتطلب طاقة كهربائية.
العيوب
تتطلب مساحة أرض كبيرة.
تواجد ملحوظ للروائح والذباب.
تتطلب جهودًا كبيرة لإزالة الحمأة.
قدرة محدودة على تثبيت المواد العضوية وإزالة مسببات الامراض.
تتطلب خبرة في أعمال التصميم والإنشاء.
السوائل المُرتَشِحة تتطلب مزيدًا من المُعالجة.

تجفيف الحمأه هي طريقة فعَّالة لخفض حجمها، وذلك مهم للغاية عند نقلها إلى مكان آخر لمزيد من عمليات المُعالجة، أو الاستخدام، أو التخلص النهائي. هذه التقنية ليست فعالة في تثبيت جزيئات المواد العضوية أو تخفيض مسببات الأمراض. قد تتطلب الحمأة المجففة مزيدًا من التخزين أو المُعالجة )على سبيل المثال؛ إعداد السماد مع إضافة المواد العضوية (.

تناسب أحواض التجفيف غير المزروعة -بشكل أكبر- المُجتمعات الصغيرة إلى المتوسطة، ذات كثافةٍ سكانيةٍ قد تصل إلى 100 ألف نسمة، ولكن توجد أحواض أخرى أكبر، حيث تكون مُناسبة للتجمعات الحضرية الكبيرة. أحواض التجفيف غير المزروعة تُناسب المناطق الريفية وشبه الحضرية حيث تتوفر المساحة بثمن قليل، وتقع بعيدًا عن المنازل ومناطق الأعمال.

إذا تم تصميمها من أجل خدمة المناطق الحضرية؛ فإن أحواض التجفيف غير المزروعة يجب أن تُنشَأ عند أطراف المدينة، ولكن يجب أن تكون أيضًا في المتناول الاقتصادي للعاملين على التفريغ والنقل بواسطة المحركات. هذا الخيار مُنخفض التكلفة ويمكن انشاؤه في معظم المناخات الحارة والمُعتدلة. الأمطار الغزيرة قد تمنع الحمأة من الجفاف بشكل صحيح.

Factsheet Block Body

تتم تغطية أنابيب الصرف بحوالي 3-5 طبقات مُتدرجة من الحصى والرمال؛ الطبقة السفليّة يجب أن تكون من الحصى الخشن، أما الطبقة العليا فمن الرمال الناعمة )0.1 إلى 0.5 ملليمتر هو حجم الحبيبات الفعَّال( يجب أن يتراوح سمك طبقة الرمال في الأعلى ما بين 250 إلى 300 ملليمتر؛ لأن بعض الرمال سيتم فقدانها في كل مرة يتم فيها إزالة الحمأة.

لتحسين عمليتيّ التجفيف والارتشاح، فإنه يُمكن استخدام الحمأة بالتناوب بين حوضين أو أكثر. ويجب أن يكون المدخل مُجهّزًا بمنصةٍ لتوزيع السائل المُتدفق بالرش؛ وذلك لمنع انجراف طبقة الرمال، وللسماح بعملية توزيعٍ جيدةٍ للحمأة.

يجب أن تؤخذ بعين الاعتبار الصيانة المستقبلية في تصميم أحواض التجفيف غير المزروعة، لأن ضمان وصول الناس والشاحنات لضخ الحمأة وإزالة الحمأة المجففة أمر ضروري.

إذا تم إنشاء المَرفق في المناخات الرطبة فيجب تغطية السقف والحرص الشديد على منع تدفق مياه الجريان السطحي إلى المرفق.

Factsheet Block Body

تُعتبر الحمأة الداخلة المُخفَّفة مُسببة للأمراض؛ لذلك يجب تزويد العاملين بوسائل الحماية المُناسبة )الأحذية الطويلة، والقفازات، والملابس الواقية( تكون الحمأة المجففة والتدفقات السائلة الخارجة غير معقمة وتتطلب مزيدًا من عمليات المُعالجة أو التخزين، وذلك اعتمادًا على الاستخدام النهائي المطلوب.

قد تسبب أحواض التجفيف إزعاجًا لسكان المناطق المجاورة؛ نتيجة للروائح الكريهة ووجود الذباب. وبالتالي فإنها يجب أن تتواجد بعيدًا بما فيه الكفاية عن المناطق السكنية.

 

Factsheet Block Title
التشغيل والصيانة
Factsheet Block Body

تتطلب طاقمًا مُدربًا لأعمال التشغيل والصيانة؛ لضمان عملها بشكل فعَّال.

يُمكن إزالة الحمأة الجافة بعد حوالي 10-15 أيام، ولكن يعتمد ذلك على الظروف المناخية. ولأنَّ بعض الرمال يتم فقدها مع كل عملية إزالة للحمأة، فإن الطبقة العُليا يجب أن يتم استبدالها عندما تُصبح رقيقة. ويجب الحفاظ على نظافة منطقة التفريغ، كما يجب تنظيف مصارف التدفقات السائلة الخارجة بانتظام.

Technology Transfer – Forage Plants Used in Faecal Sludge Dewatering Beds in Sub-Saharan Africa

In collaboration with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Eawag has previously demonstrated that constructed wetlands, especially in Thailand, offer a viable solution for the treatment of faecal sludge. However, since the characteristics of sludge vary widely from one region to another, appropriate indigenous plants had to be identified so as to ensure successful operation of these facilities.

Low-cost Options for Treating Faecal Sludges (FS) in Developing Countries - Challenges and Performance

This article analyses and discusses the performances of low-cost technology for treating faecal sludges in developing countries. It shows that where septic tanks are the predominant type of on-site sanitation installations, septage is the only or predominant type of faecal sludge generated. It also shows that constructed wetlands, settling tanks/ponds, or unplanted drying beds might prove suitable as a pre-treatment.

Chapter 3. Pilot Project "Navsarjan Vocational Training Institute Dalit Shakti Kendra"

The main aim of the project was to avoid manual scavenging of excreta and to improve the sanitation situation at the Navsarjan Vocational Training Institute. The technical solution proposed was source separation (grey-/blackwater) and reuse. Greywater is separately treated and reused in the garden while the urine and faeces (blackwater) are directly introduced into a biogas plant. Digested sludge is dried on basic drying beds and used as compost for the garden. UDDT were also installed. The concept was implemented and evaluated for its social and cultural acceptability, sustainable and hygienic safety.
